Astrophysical analysis of the measurement of (alpha,gamma) and (alpha,n) cross sections of Tm-169
(2012-07-05)
Reaction cross sections of Tm-169(alpha, gamma)Lu-173 and Tm-169(alpha, n)Lu-172 have been measured in the energy range 12.6
Activation method combined with characteristic X-ray counting : A possibility to measure (alpha, gamma) cross sections on heavy p-nuclei
(2011-10-01)
For an improved modeling of the astrophysical nucleosynthesis of p-nuclei, low energy cross section data of alpha-induced reactions on heavy isotopes are needed. Technical difficulties hamper the experimental determination ...
Determining reaction cross sections via characteristic X-ray detection : alpha-induced reactions on Tm-169 for the astrophysical gamma-process
(2011-01-17)
The cross sections of the Tm-169(alpha, gamma)Lu-173 and Tm-169(alpha,n)Lu-172 reactions have been measured first time using a new method, by detecting the characteristic X-ray radiation following the electron capture-decay ...
alpha-induced cross sections of Cd-106 for the astrophysical p process
(2006-08)
The Cd-106(alpha,gamma)Sn-110 reaction cross section has been measured in the energy range of the Gamow window for the astrophysical p-process scenario. The cross sections for Cd-106(alpha,n)Sn-109 and for Cd-106(alpha,p)In-109 ...
Branchings in the gamma process path revisited
(2006-01)
The location of the (gamma,p)/(gamma,n) and (gamma,alpha)/(gamma,n) line at gamma process temperatures is discussed, using updated reaction rates based on global Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The results can be directly ...
Elastic alpha scattering on Sn-112 and Sn-124 at astrophysically relevant energies
(2005-06)
The cross sections for the elastic scattering reactions Sn-112,Sn-124(alpha,alpha)Sn-112,Sn-124 at energies above and below the Coulomb barrier are presented and compared to predictions for global alpha-nucleus potentials. ...
Proton induced reaction cross section measurements on Se isotopes for the astrophysical p process
(2003-11)
As a continuation of a systematic study of reactions relevant to the astrophysical p process, the cross sections of the Se-74,Se-76(p,gamma) Br-75,Br-77 and Se-82(p,n) Br-82 reactions have been measured at energies from ...
Direct neutron capture cross sections of Ni-62 in the s-process energy range
(2002-08)
Direct neutron capture on Ni-62 is calculated in the DWBA and the Maxwellian averaged cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates in the energy range relevant for s-process nucleosynthesis are given. It is confirmed ...
End point of the rp process on accreting neutron stars
(2001-04-16)
We calculate the rapid proton (rp) capture process of hydrogen burning on the surface of an accreting neutron star with an updated reaction network that extends up to Xe, far beyond previous work. In both steady-state ...
An approximation for the rp-process
(1997-07-20)
Hot (explosive) hydrogen burning, or the rapid proton capture process (rp-process), occurs in a number of astrophysical environments. Novae and X-ray bursts are the most prominent ones, but accretion disks around black ...
